The boat build is in full swing....and I am still worried about sponsors though. Still chasing sponsors, it is going to be a difficult task this year.
The Odisea 48 from Odisea Catamarans has just started to get built in Vietnam. The design is complete, the paperwork has been done and now the factory has had 4 days to start the job and they are welding like madmen. Finally the wait is over, the Elcano World Challenge will begin in 2024 people.

Nothing but quality peepole.

[@CPTCleoTorris]

This is the most detailed extreme catamaran build I have ever seen. Holy crap this Cat is being built like an ice breaker!

[@stevecrombie5357]

Plukky it still boggles the mind where this is all headed. Having started out on a stripped down cat populated with a rotating crew of young women, to a mono in need of a lot of work, to this amazing boat I can't wait to see finished. Top stuff.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I remember when things were pretty grim in the past for you Plukky. You went through some TOUGH times in Panama and the Caribbean. So I'm happy to see you doing well, you seem to be cheered up. And with good reason! Buena suerte y cuídate mucho amigo. Good luck and be careful my friend.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

If you keep getting back up, it has to come good eventually

[@user-py5yk4qk3q]

I’m 😊

[@bobhorne8410]

Pluk, old man. Been following you for some time, yes I hung in there. When you announced a new boat build I pictured a Wharrum 40 something, bare bones and salty old school mixed with bungee cords and flooded cell batteries and a 200 watt solar panel. What I see here is space age technology being applied to craft a vessel bound for sea conditions that are unforgiving and relentless. Top stuff! Good on ya and I’m still with you! 🎉

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Glad to have you on board

[@billyjames7735]

it is awesome how everyone works together as a team and respects each other's ideals. love seeing the build coming together.

[@rayb226]

You see a need for a design change everyone puts there heads together and gets it done. Nothing but quality.

[@BoroBootBoy]

Design flexibility + knowledgeable engineers = perfect product!

[@ebutuoyotwen]

More comments means more viewers so lets all comment. And don't forget to like :)

[@DanvilleTrain888]

Agree! 🏴‍☠

[@jimchuk8511]

It is so amazing to see this sort of an operation in Viet Nam. I graduated in 1969 and although I didn't go to the war there, many of my classmates did. One a neighbor who was top in his class and went on to be a fighter pilot. He is still over there in some jungle MIA. To think that these guys fathers may have killed me or me them says there is something very wrong with the way this world operates. And it's no better today. Amazing what that country has done with the industrious work force they have. Imagine what would be possible if everyone just got along. Great videos Plukky. Keep up the good work.

[@hthring]

so true, war is such a waste

[@markw6586]

To everyone who at first was hesitant to support this build, well your time is now, this is happening and better late than never.

[@clivehorridge]

This post has brought a beaming smile to my face. Although still subscribed, I haven’t received a post since 2 years ago. Maybe my bad somehow, but I was missing this vlog. Now it’s all going to kick-off again with this masterful and beautiful cat. Good on yer Plucky, looking forward to new adventures. Greetings from Romania ❤️🇷🇴

[@johnmajewski1065]

Some things to consider. Dagger boards nearly sank on a mooring of my friend's Crother 54-foot aluminum cat. The issue was anti-fouling on the daggerboard created electronics inside the daggerboard case over time which holed the inside of the case wall. The repair was too cramped to reweld the cases. They had sealed the cases off and had wooden fixed fins custom-built and fitted under the hull.

[@dancarter482]

Composites are better for daggers - shatter on impact protecting the case and no corrosion issues.

[@petersimon-collins8895]

Peter, it’s all looking great I can see you sailing that cat by the end of the year. We’re all waiting to see it.

[@davidpeck8351]

Tinkering with the design while building, I would have expected no less from our Pluckster! And the time lapse on the beams is sweet!

[@Willgrf]

Amazing to see this build and the quality of it. There is simply no comparison to a fibreglass Cat construction. When I am in a position to order another new boat, this surely has to be the ultimate cat. Blown away by the craftsmanship on the video.

[@VonBluesman]

Plukky the boat build is making major progress. Borrow that crane and shake some money out of those super yachts over there. 👍😂

[@darrenleask6042]

So glad you are doing this build vlog. Nothing but raw quality people. That outfit will definitely get business from show casing their expertise, win win.

[@oleran4569]

Lucky for Odisea that they have a "cat" expert and experienced sailor as an advisor!

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Hardly, i just know a bit but thanks for the compliment anyway

[@melinda5777]

Cap'n Plukky, I watched on Kickstarter and commented. Everything is at it should be! That's not what I said on Kickstarter, just here. Again, THANK YOU, BART!!!, YOUR THE MAN!!❤ You Stay Safe MY Cap'n! ✝️🙏❤️🇺🇸🇦🇺⛵️👣🍍😊

[@trentdelancy3130]

You are doing it right. When you put together that many people good things will come.

[@outnabout57]

Got the problem sorted as to why I could not post here. Cheers. Proud on you and the team.

[@sillywillie]

Making great progress. The managers and skilled workers know how to accomplish the build to perfection. Every piece cut, formed, ground, and welded to exact specifications. Kudos 🙌

[@ronm3380]

Getting there Plukky! So many man hours going into the build. I am looking forward to see the dagger boards in action.

[@SV_Aroo]

Look forward to seeing the Teflon sliders you come up with.

[@geckocampersslideoncampers3579]

its a good idea to make provision to have small hoses run to the bottom of the dagger boards, rudders and other hard to get at cavities so you can check for and remove water.

[@petergroves9343]

I like the group discussion for the design change, no ideas are a bad idea just some work better than others 👍👍👍

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Indeed

[@chrispy104k]

Great to see a collaborative approach to come up with better ideas.

[@bogdanwisniewski3852]

An extraordinary combination of knowledge, experience and joy of creating a perfect structure. Beautiful work!

[@Stevie6962]

Was never a big fan of cats, but this aluminium cat is floating my boat.

[@SvMobyduck]

I like coming straight into the weld. Good video!

[@capttom7772]

Plukky, make the dagger boards air tight so you have a virticle tube inside, to the bottom to blow out any water with air

[@joes7166]

good idea. In that same vain, shoot some expanding foam down inside the dagger boards to displace any water.

[@craigchamrad7973]

Thats some precision work.

[@paulpanter3182]

Well done, it's damn close to saying it could be built here in the city - like Mercedes and Porsche do here

[@lolawilson5817]

the boat build people are making a beautiful boat!

[@tedsmith6137]

The standard metric for measurement used to be football fields, railway cars or Jumbo jets. Good to see Plucky has set the new bar with F150's.🤣

[@grumpyjohntxredneckrc6346]

A Truly Custom Build... 👍👍😜🤣😁😎

[@seawench555]

There's definitely one thing these wonderful people have and that's an extremely solid Work Ethic. Well done!!!🇦🇺👍😎 it's great to see u smiling Plukky.

[@pnr9730]

She is going to be a beast🎉

[@Keith24GB]

Great stuff, it’s going well. Missed the girls this week.

[@mr01steam]

Great HOW TO BUILD an Ali Boat Video. Think I will leave it to the experts! Keep up the good work.

[@guvmntout]

Crazy, fast, precision people!

[@BernardOuellette-mf5rv]

WOW! This is looking after the details.

[@hedleyjackson5131]

So smooth people like a young Italian girls derrière!

[@tim31736]

Love it, love it, Love it!!!!

[@EdHelwig]

Your ME good nature is showing through Plukky. Good stuff as always.

[@braithmiller]

Nothing but quality ❤

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Indeed

[@MrRourk]

She going to be a nice and fast ship.

[@robertbuckley3582]

I never fully appreciated how complex building with aluminium is

[@leadreviewer3257]

Great video the boats looking awesome

[@marklapierre5629]

She's looking good Plukky. Still no equipment in sight.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

We have s couples to be announced soon.... but we need a motor

[@Lana_Warwick]

They keep the work areas/floor nice and clean

[@raftskibum]

I've thought this since the beginning of the build, but just now saying it to you - a 200 count foam ear plug box is roughly $20 US. Would be good for yourself and the entire factory crew.

[@Zeb70]

Fantastic build happening Plukky. All the best to come my man!

[@fulltimber]

Sporting wood ! You crack me up man

[@clivehorridge]

🤣🤣🤣💪🏼

[@edithdriver2094]

Note their tenacious work ethic. And that dear friends is how they defeated the American invaders ✌️

[@jonathanscott550]

coming along great Peter

[@burlingtonbill4687]

Looking good my friend. Wish you the best for your future sailing adventures. Burlington Bill, busking on the road and on You Tube.

[@GlennyRizzla]

Amazing!! Just remember friend when you sail that beauty towards eastern Canada by the shores of New Brunswick and PEI hit me up we will make your time here a great one 😀

[@markusschmidt4803]

This looks like assembling an Airplane 😮

[@klausfroehlich741]

amazing the skilled vietnamese workers, here in cambodia you could not do the same

[@ianh2674]

Really great to see you have a bunch of switch on people / thinkers on board. Has the AL supply issue now been more or solved? Top stuff Peter

[@tanyabeaumont1314]

Nice work on the design for sliders Plukky - much better to have backing blocks to tap into.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Indeed

[@francismoore4976]

WOW! These guys should build Boeing 737 Max airplanes, at least they would not fell apart in mid air! TOTALLY safer for the passengers and for peoples on the ground!!! Just ironic.

[@Antipodean33]

Fill the dagger boards with foam to stop any water filling it up if a problem eventuates

[@TheRaptor1967]

I see progress is moving along quite well. Interesting Video. Thanks for sharing!

[@kjelhafso5198]

I love you man and you wish I could support you!!!!!!!!!

[@user-zs6fd5cj6m]

Good to see yoiu

[@dennisreeves632]

Are you getting excited yet? Can't wait to see the inside fit out.

[@bobcatman3844]

Nice work mate

[@chaswarren7239]

Such patience, skill and man hours. To think that at one time you contemplated doing it yourself in a poly tunnel somewhere ?

[@rvz3215]

You can always work for them Plukky when you are boring!

[@johnmaliskey7951]

I know it's early in the build BUT have you been considering who will be part of the crew and of course they will have to be there at the sea trials to learn the new system????...... enjoy

[@faircompetition1203]

If the daggerboards fill with water the other issue is corrosion where you can not see it . Best to be really watertight .

[@jerrodbeck1799]

Fun fun 👍🏻

[@superformOG]

haha you are like me, i go over a bridge and tell the missus all about the single span engineering that goes into a bridge like this and if we go past a big crane or other engineering marvel then she really gets the lowdown.. she loves it (probably not)

[@nealchristensen1793]

It sure helps a lot that they are will to listen and change thing from from you the person that sails or operates the vessel ! Constructive criticism or for better words this is what doesn't work but this will weld a boss in them and pressure test them !

[@kristaready8812]

That was a noisy one today but it's really coming along 🤗💞

[@fulltimber]

Plukkman, I thought here we go with the ford f150's. I'm going to look this up, the weight of them that is. I thought you were going to be way out . But, you're right , 1331 f150's with fuel , is pretty fricking close to 4k tonne. Who would have thought ? You did a few sums first mate before you came up with that analogy. Well done mate 😂

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Its only maths my friend , not the enemy

[@Antipodean33]

Eh mate remember when you were talking about building your ali cat in Greece and the Philipines yourself? Remember that dream, bet your glad that never happened after watching these dudes

[@davidwood4427]

Sweet as.............

[@AMF1]

Bloody brilliant !

[@rezawaheed8879]

jeez plucky are you trying to make us deaf !!! top stuff😉

[@timothymarcotte7760]

Can’t wait to see it on the water

[@deanostevenson9238]

Great build

[@hectorcoria3650]

Looking great meister!

[@ohenrysservicesjeep233]

Wonderful work

[@dclements54]

Top stuff, well done!

[@Racerman27410]

Nothing but quality mate!!

[@OgLid]

Top Stuff!

[@joemarquez4729]

The team is doing a great job!

[@TTM-GEB]

Top stuff 😊

[@billkaroly]

It's coming along nicely Peter.

[@johnpedersen7752]

Looking great plucky .

[@KrazyKnots]

Not sure if others would be interested or if you already covered all of this or not, but I'd like an episode about how you funded/are funding this, what stake you and have in it, what everyone's roles and interplay are together, and where it is headed in near, mid, and far term. What org structure of the effort etc? The business side of things. Thx. Just an idea. Business guy. 🤷

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

I am sponsored for the shell and i show the build. That's about it. Kiss

[@sailingelectricnauticat3853]

Good stuff plukky nothing but quality mate

[@louis220558]

YO THEY ARE MOVING WITH THE WORK

[@goldenacres3269]

I think I understand the ovals cut into the second side to the daggerboard as giving access for the welding from the outside, but I would like to see a discussion of how the second side is welded on and faired.

[@DanvilleTrain888]

Ahoy Plukky!⚓🏴‍☠

[@christip20]

Hey Plucky, I remembered you talking about a “Mumby” (is that right?) anyway, I’ve finally seen one on “Wildings Sailing” on utube. A friend of his shows up where he’s working on his Wharram and they did a short Boat Tour . I can now see why you’re so taken with them, it’s over 40 ft & it’s Awesome!
